Start Parameters - Utilities

This topic lists the parameters that administrators can use to start the different AE utilities in batch mode on the command line so that you automate and schedule them regularly. You can either use the Java loader or the utility to assign them. Alternatively, you can use the utility's user interface for most parameters.

Important! To be able to start utilities in batch mode, you must specify your particular settings once in the UI of the utility.

This page includes the following:

Overview

When the utilities AE DB Client Copy, AE DB Archive, or AE DB Reorg start in batch mode, they make an authorization check for single sign-on. For more information, see AE DB Client Copy, AE DB Archive, or AE DB Reorg.

Example: The relevant utility aborts if there is no User object for the OS user that logged into the AE system. The utility checks for the User object even if the UC_USER_LOGON system variable includes all relevant entries. Single sign-on provides increased security in batch mode. If a program starts with the Automic Web Interface, the single login function increases the ease of use. For more information, see UC_USER_LOGON - Single Logon.

Windows

By default, utilities start in batch mode when you use the corresponding *.exe files. Files that end on *g.exe start the utilities in normal mode, and you can assign parameters to them. *.jar files should not be used in batch mode.

Example: You want to call a specific INI file. The parameter -B must not be used in such a case.

Unix

By default, utilities start in batch mode when you use the corresponding *.sh files. You can use files without file ending to assign start parameters for batch calls.

Java Loader (Java Loader)

The following start parameters are available:

  • -F0File name

    Suppresses the splash screen

  • -IPath and File name

    Path and name of the INI file for the Java loader

  • -JParameter

    Parameter of the utility

    • You can use the Java loader to assign parameters to the utility. These parameters are added to the cmd section of the INI file. By doing so, you can specify a default setting in the INI file and handle specific situations through the Java loader.

    It is mandatory to use double quotations for path indications that include blanks. For example:

    -J -I"C:\AUTOMIC\my utilities\UCYBDBAR.ini"

Examples

Set the language by using a shortcut :

cmd="javaw" -jar -cp .;.\UC4LAF.jar UCYBDBar.jar

Pre-determine the language by using a shortcut:

UCYBDBarg.exe -F0 -J-LD

If you define an INI file for the utility, you must use the parameter -I twice, even if the Java loader and the utility use the same INI file.

Java loader and utility use the same INI file:

ucybdbccg -IUCYBDBCC.ini -J-IUCYBDBCC.ini

Different INI files are used:

ucybdbccg -IUCYBDBCC.ini -J-Iclientcopy.ini

AE DB Archive (UCYBDBAR.EXE)

In Archive Mode:

  • -Smmmm

    Number of the client that should be archived

    • Important! This client must include a User object for the user who starts this utility in batch mode.

    Example: There must be the User object SMITH/department name for the OS user Smith. No other User object must start with SMITH. It is not possible to use SMITH/AE and SMITH/TEST.

    In report mode, you must always define a client, except for -Xreport. The same rules apply for the parameters -S and -D as in archiving mode.

    • Depending on the report mode you use, the client specification can have different meanings:

    • -Xlist

      The client whose reports should be listed

    • -Xunload and -Xmark

      The client is used for checking login data. A User object must be available. Otherwise, the utility cancels the process.

  • -XMode

    Type of report handling

    • For Output Management systems (see Open Interface to Output Management Systems ):

    • list

      Reports are listed

    • unload

    • -YNumber

      (Optional) Filter for the report selection

  • Parameters for -Xunload

    • -OPath and file name

      (Optional) Path and name of the text file

      • The dot character (.) is used as a separator between the file name and the extension. If the name contains several dot symbols, the last one is regarded as a separator between the file name and the extension. The text after the dot is handled as the file extension.

      A file with the additional suffix _Report type in its file-name part is created in the specified folder for each report of the task.

      Examples:

      -OOutputfile.txt -> Outputfile_ACT.txt

      -OOutputfile.job.name.txt -> Outputfile.job.name_ACT.txt

      -OOutputfile.job123456 -> Outputfile_ACT.job123456

      or generic:

      -OOutputfilename.extension (the last dot is used as extension separator) -> Outputfilename_ReportType.extension

    • Default: The selection is not limited by a start time. It is recommended that you specify a start time, as otherwise the Revision Report will be very large.

    The time zone of the client is used. If the client does not include a time zone definition, the one of system client 0 is used. If system client 0 does not include a time zone definition either, UTC is used.

    If the time parameters -D1 and -D2 are not used, all modification data is written to the report. The -F and -X filters are taken into account.

  • -D2yyyymmddhhmmss

    (Optional) The end date and the time for logging

    • Default: Current date and time

    The time zone of the client is used. If the client does not include a time zone definition, the one of system client 0 is used. If system client 0 does not include a time zone definition either, UTC is used.

    If the time parameters -D1 and -D2 are not used, all modification data is written to the report. The -F and -X filters are taken into account.

  • -A

    (Optional) Archive flags are set when you use this parameter. It is related to the parameter -X.

    • The start of tasks is retrieved from the statistical records, see start parameter -FSTART. Therefore, the utility cannot set archive flags for these data records.

  • -X

    (Optional) Use this parameter to have only modification entries that have never been output by the utility before written to the report such as entries that do not have archive flags.

Examples

All revision information of client 1 that was logged between 1 May 2021 00:00 o'clock and the current date is output to a report:

UCYBDBRR -B -C0001 -O/uc4/reports/report01.txt -D120210501000000

All start and restart points between 1 October 2021, 08:00 o'clock, and 12 October 2021, 20:00 is output in a report:

UCYBDBRR -B -LD -C0100 -FSTART,RESTART -D120211001080000 -D220211001200000

AE DB Unload (UCYBDBUN.EXE)

This utility unloads data. For more information, see AE DB Unload.

Syntax

UCYBDBUN -BMode [-V[Path and file name]] [-IFile name] [-LLanguage] [-D] [-Cmmmm] [-XFile name] [-K]

Start Parameters

The following start parameters are available:

  • -BMode

    Batch mode and processing mode

    • AE system-wide:

    • NORMAL

      All data from all database tables is unloaded.

    • INITIAL

      Data is taken from client 0. Only initial data such as XREQs is unloaded.

    • DEFAULT

      Default data of the system is unloaded (such as client 0, initial user and user group).

    • REPAIR

      The folder structure of the Explorer is checked and repaired.

    AE system-wide and client-wide:

    • REORG

      The database is reorganized.

    • TRANSPORT

      The Transport Case is unloaded.

    • TRANSPORTALL

      All objects are transported. In this case, you do not have to move them to the Transport Case before. However, if they are in a Transport Case, you can remove the objects from the Transport Case after the unloading process using -D.

    • RESETARCHIVE

      Archive flags are reset, see AE DB Archive

    • RESETREORG

      Deletion flags are reset, see AE DB Reorg

  • -V

    (Optional) Prints the Automation Engine version and hotfix number in the following format:

    • UCYBDBun version Automation Engine version plus hotfix number

  • -VPath and file name

    (Optional) Prints the Automation Engine version and hotfix number to the specified file in the following format:

    • UCYBDBun version Automation Engine version plus hotfix number

  • -IFile name

    (Optional) Path and name of the INI file

  • -LLanguage

    (Optional) Language parameter

    Allowed values: D (German, E (English), F (French)

    The language that is specified in the INI file is used if you do not specify this parameter.

  • -D

    (Optional) This start parameter removes all objects from the Transport Case after the unloading process.

  • -Cmmmm

    (Optional) Number of the client that is used to unload the Transport Case

    • All clients are unloaded if you do not define a client here.

    Important! You cannot unload client 0. Even if you use -C0, all clients will be unloaded except for client 0.

  • -XFile name

    (Optional) The name of the file that should receive the unloaded data

    • If you do not use this parameter, the utility uses the name and path of the file that is specified in the output = parameter of its INI file.

    Important! You cannot use this parameter with the mode -BREORG because these specific files are subject to a given naming convention.

  • -K

    (Optional) Setting this parameter has the effect that deleted objects are still available in the Recycle Bin after the unloading process.

Examples

The AE database is reorganized:

UCYBDBun -BREORG

The Transport Case of client 11 is unloaded, and the utility uses the path and file names specified in the OUTPUT= section of the utility's INI file. After the unloading process, all objects are removed from the Transport Case:

UCYBDBun -BTRANSPORT -D -C0011

The utility has sent the message U0021148 which refers to error in the folder structure of a client. Therefore, you use the check and repair function:

UCYBDBun -BREPAIR
